haven't used them before but i have heard bad things about them. Apart from being illegal it also puts unnecessary stress on your wheel studs. If you ask me it is not worth it!

It's suicidal and illegal in pretty much every single country...

Puts excess strain on the wheel studs and they snap
Plus the wheel nuts may not have enough thread to attach to

It's not road legal. Instant defect.

Apart from the feedback already mentioned, the narrower 5mm spacers can be difficult to located centrally against the hub, especially the types with slots for the studs instead of holes. How I know this is that my fiance had a dodgy pair fitted by an even dodgier wheel shop with no hub centring rings and the generic slots so that the spacer would not locate properly against the hub.

It is much better to get a set of wheels with the correct offset to achieve your desired stance.
